Inspired by pirate radio and the free culture movment, PirateBox is a self-contained mobile communication and file sharing device. PirateBox utilizes Free, Libre and Open Source software (FLOSS) to create mobile wireless communication and file sharing networks where users can anonymously share images, video, audio, documents, and other digital content.

PirateBox is designed to be safe and secure. No logins are required and no user data is logged. The system is purposely not connected to the Internet in order to prevent tracking and preserve user privacy.

PirateBox was created by David Darts and is registered under a Free Art License (2011). To learn more about the project or to find out how to build your own PirateBox system, please visit http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox
